Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a phenol
phytoalexin derived from grapes, berries, and other plants
possessing a spectrum of pharmacologic properties. Resveratrol has
been shown to modulate LDL levels, a major risk factor for
cardiovascular disease, to interfere with or inhibit oncogenesis
and tumor proliferation in in vivo animal cancer models and in
human tumor cells in vitro , to significantly extend the lifespan
of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Caenorhabditis elegans and
the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , and to produce wide-ranging
benefits in animal models of obsesity and diabetes.Resveratrol has
gained mainstream attention as the red wine pill, with widespread
claims made of human health benefits that have outpaced the
existing evidence. Over the past few years, many clinical trials
have been conducted to evaluate the health effects of resveratrol
in humans, in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease,
obesity, diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis, and others.
Considerable work is also underway exploring the optimization of
resveratrol delivery and bioavailability in nutraceutical and
pharmaceutical paradigms. NOTE: Annals volumes are available for
